The Jonas Brothers say it was a “unanimous” decision for them to go their separate ways.

Earlier this month the American group - comprised of siblings Nick, 21, Joe, 24, and Kevin, 25 – cancelled their planned tour. Since then speculation has been rife about the future of the band, with the boys now revealing they are going their separate ways.

"It's over for now," Kevin told People.

Joe insists that the brothers were “unanimous” in their decision to pursue new career paths.

While the musical trio have no plans to work together at the moment, they are refusing to rule out a reunion in the future.
